New Purchase...First C-Body!

Nyet. The "Forward Look" was just marketing dribble cooked up by Xner. THIS is moving forward (or gives a distinct impression of such).....

With the aerodynamics of a brick....... It doesnt look like its moving forward

Gary my friend, you showed a 70 Sport Fury on motion and all the other mopars parked... Don't get me wrong, I love Fury fuselages. Especially '70 models...

I just can't figure it out why you can't see these fin cars where moving FIRST forward. ;)

Because he doesnt want too and never will

Joey: Is there a way to get back all the THANKS I've given this guy?

No one will admit it but deep down in the rational parts of your minds you know I'm right. That's why there is so much anti aircraft flack aimed at me. I get it and I'm cool with it. However, I will N E V E R change my opinion.

Goose, great looking car. Looking forward seeing more and watching the progress.

 

[70NPORT]

Yes, perhaps the government may sound like me from time to time.

Welcome aboard. Great looking ride. Your car will look great with the road wheels. They are out there. Here is an example.

Nice Newport. You have at least a couple GM components in that Chrysler - the motors for the wing windows - if they are power - ("butterfly windows") would be GM units. They sometimes work in my past experience - never really all that predictable.

The factory carb on that model was a Holley 2210. They run well when they run well, but when they don't run well, it is often hard to get them to run well again. Typical Holley problem of warping castings as even the rebuilt ones are hit and miss. In my experience with the 73 400 engine with that 2 bbl carb, the 4 bbl carbs when added do not feel much better than those Holleys when they run well.

Some upholstery work and a vinyl top and you should be styling soon. How many miles on it?

115k as of now

Thanks! I seen these earlier today in one of my "web scans", but I didn't give em much thought because of the missing centers and all the rust. The rust can be taken care of with some good elbow grease...but locating centers is another task.

These 74 and later centers would fit ... but just to illustrate they are out there....

Welcome. Nice Newport!

I believe road wheels are 15 x 6 1/2"

The Road Wheels were actually only 6" wide for 1970 - 73 C bodies (the standard steel wheels were 5 1/2" side and the standard wheels for the station wagons were 6 1/2" wide). Later model Le Barons and Diplomats had 7" wide Road Wheels available. Those are really hard to find anymore.
